Christmas Travels, Part 1

The day after Christmas we traveled to Cinncinati to have Christmas with the Platt side of the family. Aunt Debbie was generous enough to host once again. Poor Jonah wasn't feeling too well most of the time (getting teeth) but did enjoy playing with the musical Santa. Michaela was great about pushing the button on Santa so they could hear him sing. Everyone had a great time!

All the cousins, except Nicole and Shannon, who hadn't arrived yet

The babies, Michaela and Jonah with Papa

Jonah discovered the stairs at Aunt Debbie's and spent quite a bit of time going up and going down. What great exercise for him and Pap!





Christmas

Always a ready smile for the camera! Jonah is such a ham!
Jonah got lots of great presents on Christmas. One thing he got was a music table that he can stand at and play with. He loves pretending to talk on the phone that is with it.

Jonah also got TONS of new clothes. Mommy and Daddy are really excited about that because Mr. Jonah is growing super fast!

Jonah loved his Elmo computer from Aunt Jenna. His face lit up when he saw it and he started pushing buttons immediately. He has played with one in the store so I know he recognized it.

One of Jonah's favorite new toys is a HUGE pop-up tent that can be either a school bus or a fire truck. Grandpa and Grandma Richards got this for him and we couldn't get him out of it on Christmas Day. He loved playing in it. It is about 6 ft. long and 4 ft. wide.

Everyone had a great time playing in his tent, even Tiffer.

On Christmas Eve, Jonah and Aunt Jenna were taking advantage of some free time to enjoy a good book. I love the look on Jonah's face...he is really concentrating on his book. He makes his Mom proud!
